Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1230747" data-attributes="member: 196898">Following on, I now describe current situation, which is adding an ALA and a Chromium supplement to my GS cap(s) while still doing LCHF.I start this stage of my trial with an average bgl of 5.2 mmol/LI have only done 7 days so far so evidence is anecdotal, but interesting.First thing I immediately noted was that I dived back into hupoland again, and my average bgl has dropped to 4.9 mmol.L  My nerve pain has reduced considerably, and I have regained full use of my fingers again on both hands,  Some minor discomfort, but not painful.Last night I decided to try to avoid a hypo episode, so I left out my afternoon Gliclazide tab as well as droppng the evening one that I had removed in the previous stage.  I noted immediately that my premeal result was higher than it had been recently being 8.7 mmol/L.  I put it down to having had symptoms of low bgl and eating a couple of digestive biscuits just before my meal so I could drive.Then my 2hrPP after the meal came in at 9.4, which is odd since the LC meal is one I have used several times before and generally drops me not spikes me at this time.  So I decided to take a second GS cap to see if it starts to bring me down,  At the 4hrPP time my reading was 5,8 so it did drop me.  Whilst not conclusive, it is interesting that taking the GS instead of the Glic med still had a beneficial effect.  I intend repeating this again but this time take the GS in the afternoon instead of the glic, to see if it brings my premeal down.  I am hopeful that this may allow me to reduce my glic dose down to 1 per day, hopefully reducing the stress on my pancreas.</blockquote>
